New beginner's tutorial series in the wiki

Post by drei »

Hi all,
Just letting you know that I'll start laying the groundwork for a new series of tutorials aimed at absolute beginners. The main page is here: [wiki]Beginner's tutorial series[/wiki].

Feel free to contribute to that page or the other links once they are created.

Also, should this type of posts still be in the Wiki subforum or moved to the Tutorials and Videos subforum.
Need help? Feel free to ask, but please read the guidelines first

The quote in the wiki's title seems to disturb the markup. Can this be fixed?

It's been more than 7 months since you created these pages and they are still empty.

Do you plan on working on them anytime soon? Otherwise, what's the purpose of having empty tutorial pages in the wiki, listed in Category:Tutorials. I'm just putting myself in the shoes of beginners who find these pages. This is not giving them a good experience.

No reply from drei in the past 3 weeks since I posted. Those "tutorials" pages are still empty 8 months after their creation.

Having empty pages on the wiki for so long, and with no expected completion is unacceptable. It makes us look bad. I'm wondering why I should not delete them outright. :roll:

There is almost nothing to lose. The page still talks about the development version 0.17 and PartDesign Next and it is not in a sandbox :roll: . My vote: delete it.

Okay, I waited a few more months and still no response from drei, so I just deleted all the pages.

It is like the steaks of my mother in law: well done!
